Also a featuring a Spritle and Chim-Chim backup story where they borrow the Mach 5 for the joyride of a lifetime!

Written by Mark London (Endless Night, Hour of the Wolf, Exit City), making his debut in the world of licensed comics, alongside Mad Cave’s Speed Racer series writer, David Pepose. Featuring interior art by Sebastián Píriz (Gargoyles, Stranger Things), and letters by Buddy Beaudoin (Speed Racer)—this latest batch of tales peels back the curtain on the characters that have fueled decades of fandom, starting with the most elusive of them all, Racer X!

“I’ve been obsessed with Racer X since I was a kid—he was always the mysterious, badass enigma I wanted to know more about. So getting to write a full story that dives deep into his world? Total dream come true. Tales from the Road lets us explore corners of the Speed Racer universe that the main series doesn’t usually touch, and I think fans—old and new—are going to love what we’re doing. It’s going to be explosive in every way." – Writer, Mark London


“Mad Cave gave me a lot of freedom to have fun with the art for this action-packed story, and I'm really enjoying it. It's always great to be able to be a small part of the history of something as big as Racer-X and the whole Speed Racer universe!” – Artist, Sebastian Piriz
